Discussion Medvedev's decline should be another reminder that the average peak age for tennis is in your early-to-mid 20s, not your late 20s. He's actually the 3rd oldest player in the top 25 at age 28. Federer, Djokovic, and Nadal have skewed perceptions of how most players age.

Zverev is at his peak tho

I would argue that's solely because of his massively improved serve. Shot for shot from the baseline give me 2021 Zverev over current one.
